Open houses at Anoka-Hennepin schools set for Aug. 28 and 29

Open houses at Anoka-Hennepin middle schools are set for Aug. 28. Open houses at elementary and high schools will be held the following evening, Aug. 29. Families are welcome to tour facilities, meet teachers and get information to help students have a successful school year.

Also on display at the mainstream high schools will be Anoka-Hennepin’s new telepresence classrooms. An audio/visual conference brought to a new level, telepresence allows a teacher in one location to teach students from across the district’s low-enrollment, high rigor courses. With a grant from Cisco Systems, Anoka-Hennepin is the second school district in the state to take advantage of this technology.
